Reports out have Apple toppling Samsung in Japan, with Tokyo District Court Judge Shigeru Osuga finding that Samsung smartphones and a tablet PC infringed on an Apple patent covering visual effects for touch panels.
Damages in the verdict haven't been assessed yet and a timeframe hasn't been set.
Samsung said it would review the findings and assess the potential of an appeal.

Apple is up 0.6 percent early.
